HAMBURGH and LUBECK, August, 1838. TO CORRESPONDENTS. Lord John Russell, in his Address to his Constituents of Devonshire, used language which has always been interpreted to mean that he would support the Ballot if the landowners continued their reek. less course of intimidation. They have since carried it further than before, and the friends of the Ballot did look on Lord John Russell, till the begir.ning of this session, as in a manner pledged to try that remedy.

LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, ATT"GUST 14, 1838. The Parliament is not likely to be prorogued till Friday. In the House of Lord..s last night Lord DENMAN took the opportunity of 6 , , third reading of the Canada Decla ratory and Inde7:unity Bill to state his opinion on the conduct of cord DURHAM'S ordinances, and on a Bill of T ..ndemnity. He did not hesitate to say that 'Ale ordinances were illegal and indefensi ble. Lord DENMAN'S opinion will of course have great weight with the country, and with Lord DURHAM. Like ourselves, he admitted that Lord Dun- HAM'S intentions were good, but he contended that the Noble Lord had assumed a power never contem plated by the Act. The circumstance of threatening the men with death should they return, he described as a rash and monstrous proceeding ; but, however tare lessly and improperly the ordinances may be *;:orded to give that impression, we have always be..n inclined to suppose that the true interpretation Ili that part of them was, that the men would then,after Trial, be liable to all the penalties of death ; and we excuse that part of the ordinance to ourselves and the public by describing it as a mere idle threat, intended to appease the cravings of the Orange faction for vengeance. After Lord DENMAN'S de claration we must, of course suppose that we were mistaken, and that this part of the ordinance was unwarranted. We must distinguish, too, the case of those persons who were on the spot, and who voluntarily, as is said, submitted to deportation, and those who, being at a distance, could not be questioned on the subject, and yet were exiled. This circumstance, together with misdescribing some persons, and using wrong names, in such an important o.ocument, argues a degree of haste and inconsideratene ss which, perhaps, justify the severe remarks of Lora DENMAN. We believe still that Lord DURHAM meant well, but after Lord DENMAN'S speech, we are constrained to express a doubt of the pru dence, tie care, and the legal knowledge of his advisers. Lord DENMAN spoke out against Bills of Indemnity, which are, as we described them a few days ago, ex post facto laws, which legalize that which the law says is an injury. We understand that Mr. POULETT THOMSON'S Trading Companies Amendment Bill stands for a third reading in the House of Lords this evening. Our confidence in the vigilance of the Hereditary branch of our Legislature when the questions before it relate to trade, is, we must confess, not unbounded ; but we nevertheless hope that those Noble Lords whose efforts are always directed to the promotion of the commercial interests of their country, will unite with Lord BROUGHAM, and rid the world of this wretched Boar.] of Trade abortion. It has not even the merit of being a bad Bill to amend a worse ; for to say the least, it is more compli-..ated, more obscure, and more pal pably absurd than the original Act of which it purports to be an amendment, There are two questions connected with the Corn laws about which we shall very dispassionately, we hope, say a few words to-day ; the first is the incidence of tithes, the next is the dependence which free trade in corn, it is wo.,ita produce on other nations. It has been generally said, and instily believed, that the tithes fall on the consumer, to hom they enhance the- pice of corn. But this is only true when the supply is limited. If corn could be brought into the country perfectly free, it is clear that the tr:itithed corn of Prussia, Poland, Scotland, and other c0., - ,ntries, wo u ld so re d uce t h e pr i ce as to make , the tithes wholly and solely a deduction from the land lords' rent. It is to avoid this, and throw the burden of tha tithes on the ccnsumers of bread, that the landed interest so teraciousiy insist on maintaining the Corn-laws. But for those laws the whole expense of the Church Establishment would be borne by the land owners ; with those laws that expense is thrown on the bulk of the people. The squires we sup pose will say that the Church is for the whole people, and the whole people ought to bear the burden of it. But the squires will pardon us for dissent in g from their opinion. The squires, or the landed aristocracy, are and have been the great law-makers for the land, and they have imposed on us and maintained the Church as a political i nstrument to keep the pe o pl e p o liti ca lly su bservient. A hierarchy of priests is a natural adjunct of an aristocracy of sqult es. The former ranged, rank above rank, much like the Squires, Baronets, Barons, Earls, Dukes, &c., necessarily preach the advan tages of an aristocratic form of Government ; and as the servant and the aid of the aristocracy the Episcopal Church is established and maintained. However useful it may be to the masters of our rural population, the Establishment is not desired by a great majority of the inhabitants of our towns, and is not needed by them. But through the Corn-laws they are all taxed in order to pay for that which is set and kept up chiefly for the purposes of the landed aristocracy, and is useful only to them. Now, ' we contend it is unjust in the law=making aristocracy to compel the people, by the Corn-laws, to pay for that which is a rne -e instrument to accomplish their own selfish political purposes. If they will, however, persist, because they acrjat the Church a necessary political instro';:ient, to tax the whole community to maintain Instead of giving up 'their estates to s'.) va!uahle a servant to them ' they must hear with all the odium and the Irtn'd names which their unjust conduct neces sarily calla forth. If, for the sake of the Churoh, they will degrade and ruin the aristocracy In the tinblic estimation, and make it justly be described es the most rapacious body that ever existed, they roust take the consequences. The other point we shall advert to it our dependence on other nations for food. Now food is neces , arily the product of every country, and such co-n as we consume is the growth of all Europe and of a great part of America. Poland, Russia, and the United States, France, Spain, and Germany can all supply us with corn, and the ports of the Baltic, the Black Sea, and of the Seabord of the wide Atlantic, all offer us an easy means of getting supplies of food. It is clearly impossible, therefore, that the supposed dependence caused by free trade in grain, could ever be of the least injury, either politically or in a manufacturing point of view, since the whole world can supply us with food. This theory is amply confirmed by experience. There happens to be a small portion of Europe, which is, like England, a great maritime, commercial, and not an inconsiderable manufacturing State. Into that country, which does not grow corn enough for its own people, corn is, and has long been freely imported; and who, we should like to know, ever heard of any injury accruing to Holland from this state of dependence ? Famine and dearths are, we be lieve, less known there, than in any part of Europe, and the price of corn in the markets of Amsterdam has for many years been remarkably steady, while our markets, under the present nicely contrived scale of adjusting duties, have twice varied, in six years, a hundred per cent. The assertion, therefore, that the Corn-laws preserve us from dependence on foreigners and keep prices steady, is one of the least founded asser tions with which cunning rogues ever attempted to gull simple fools. But if our landed politicians and their advocates are really alarmed at our people being dependent on the in dustry of foreigners, and do not with disgusting hypocrisy pretend an alarm which they know to be unfounded, how must they tremble at the state of our cotton manufac ture ? Connected with that there are not less than three millions of our people dependent for their daily bread, and three-fourths of them would be thrown idle to-morrow if the United States were to stop our supply ofcotton. Here, in fact, is a large mass of our population altogether dependent on the cotton grown in one foreign country—for not one of our squires or farmers would feed a cotton manufacturer unless he had some nice lace veils or printed cotton gowns to give to the lady or the matron in exchange for the food ; and if that supply of cotton were stopped, the three million persons engaged in that manufacture would be as surely exposed to ruin and starvation as if all the squires and farmers were to refuse to supply them with one grain of corn. With our present cotton manufacture extending through every branch of our commerce, giving vitality to our shipping and supporting our machine makers, to have that all de pendent on the industry of the inhabitants of the United States, and at the mercy of that one Government, is a la mentable condition to which, with a free trade in corn, we could ntver be reduced for food. It is idle, therefore, to terrify us with a threat of dependence arising from free trade in corn, and to shut our eyes to the actual depend ' ence arising from a free trade in cotton. The Newspaper Press is deeply indebted to Lord BROUGHAM for the boon which he has conferred upon it, in doing away with that monstrous provision which had found its way into the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, and by which the Proprietors of Newspapers were compelled, under severe penalties, to publish all ad vertisements of schedules sent to them—no matter how long —at the rate of 3s. a piece ! The Noble and Learned Lord brought the subject under the consideration of the House of Lords last night, and insisted on an immediate remedy being applied to this grievance —a grievance of the extent of which some conjecture may be formed from the circumstance that it is possible for a number of attornies employed under this Bill to fill a Newspaper with their yard-long schedules ; and if there should not be room to insert all, to levy penalties for those not published at the time directed by them. The LORD CHANCELLOR, though he quite disapproved of the clause, seemed to think that no great hardship would be inflicted on the Press between the time when the Act comes into operation and next Session of Parliament, when a le gislative remedy would, as a matter of course, be provided. Lord BROUGHA m,how ever, shewed that on the Act coming into operation, there would be a ruinous influx of advertisements ; while, if the slightest mistake occurred in printing the advertisements, so that there should be any thing that could be construed into a misdescription, the parties imprisoned would leave to remain in gaol till the error was corrected, and might come upon the publisher for damages. After the difficulties which stood in the way of amending the clause—which is a principal one of the Bill—had been consi dered, Lord BROUGHAM solved the problem in a most effec tual and expeditious manner, by laying a piece of paper on his knee, and in the space of three or four minutes drawing a Bill to repeal the obnoxious enactment, which was actually read a first time then, and will be read a second time to-day There, perhaps, never was such an instance of promptitude in legislation. Our readers will perceive from our report of the Parlia mentary proceedings last night, that the Dean and Chap ter of Westminster have refused to allow a statue to Lord BYRON, by the celebrated TIIOPWALDSEN, to be placed in Westminster Abbey. If ever there was a man whose ge nius entitled him to this posthumous distinction, it is Lord BYRON. If we examine the list of those who have adorned English literature by their talents, we shall not find, in the illustrious catalogue, a single name more con spicuous than that of BYrtoN—none who, at the age of thirty-six, left behind him such ample and endurin g memorials of literary genius. Yet the statue—the mere effigy of this ornament of his country—is denied ad mittance among those of his compeers, because, forsooth, the Dean and Chapter of Westminster choose to think that he was not of the orthodox faith. Shame upin such narrow minded bigotry ! It would disgrace the most ignorant cloister of monks in the most ignorant and bar barous age of our history. The House of Commons is to take up this subject to night, and we trust a lesson will be read to those reverznd dignitaries which they will remember as long as they live. We copy from the Chronicle of this morning a very im • portant letter on the subject of the distress in Shetland, to which we invite the attention of our readers. Without expressing any "pinion upon the question at issue between the London and Northern Committees, we can hardly sup pose that any impartial person, after reading this letter, will venture to express a doubt as to the prevalence of famine in the Shetland district. For our own part, we believe that many members of the London Committee have been grossly imposed upon by persons who are so extremely sharp-sighted as to fancy they perceive even in the allevia tion of the greatest human misery, incontrovertible evi dence of political jobbing. We find no important political intelligence in the Paris journals of Sunday. Letters from Tunis of the 26th ult. announce the arrival of Admiral GALLOIS' squadron in that port. The ships were so stationed as to be able to defend the entrance of the Goulette against fifty war ves sels. One of the writers expresses his confidence in the rough handling which the Turkish fleet would receive, in the event of attempting to enter the port of Tunis. M. FABIIICIUS, the Dutch Envoy, has quitted Paris, where, it appears, he had resided in a diplomatic capacity for thirty-seven years. Letters from Hanover of the 6th inEt, intimate an in tentien on the part of King ERNEST to visit England, in order to constt t the Duke Of CAMBRIbGE upo❑ some some questions connected with the administration of tl.e Government. On that day the complaint of the seven expelled Professors was formally received, and ordered for trial in the Royal Chancery of Justice. The pre vailing opinion was that tl.e Cabinet would be defeated, unless the Kao ventured, by another of his unconstitu- tiunal and illegal decrees, to_ quash all further pro. ceedings. The only news of any moment from Spain will be found in the subjoined extracts from the French Journals The Infant Don Francis de Paula has arrived at Paris with his whole family.

Though there have been abun dant Mitts none of the crops have yet been impaired by them. The barley harvest is but just begun, and if the weather continues as it has appeared to promise for the last two days, the harvest will be as good as can be desired.—Echo de la Frontiere. A letter from Ax (Arriego) of the 24th July, says:—" A band of Carlists, composed of thirty persons, has established itself beyond l'Hos. pitalet at the entrance of the port (i.e., the mountain pass) of Andorre ; it plunders passengers and interrupts all communication. Nine couriers have stopped here, not daring to proceed. Our trade suffers severely by this state of things, and one of our most respectable merchants has been obliged to go to Foin to obtain from the General commanding the sub-division an order to the troops, who are all stationed within forty paces, to escort goods and travellers. It is absolutely necessary that such robberies should be put a stop to. The Valley of Andorre is a republic under our patronage; nothing would be more easy than to prevent it from being a nursery of Carlists and high waymen." The Lcipzic Journal says that is is reported that Count Luchesi Palli, husband of the Duchess of Berri, will be employed in the Austrian ser vice in some advantageous but unostentatious post. The reception of the Count at the Imperial Court, and the narrow circumstances of th e members of the elder branch of the Bourbon family, give probability to this report.—Le Commerce. By the Iberia steadier, which arrived at. Falmouth on Sunday, from the Tagus, we have received advices from Lisbon of the 7th inst. They bring a despatch from the Commander of the Bth military division, GOMEZ FONTORA, to the Minister of War, dated the 29th ult., announcing the capture of the Miguelite Chief, REMECHIDO, whose daring exploits in the Southern Provinces have been so long the subject of almost every communication from Por tugal. REMECHIDO had 248 men, mostly deserters, with him when he was taken ; and, as might be expected, from his daring character, fought desperately. Of his band fifty-six were killed on the spot, the remainder escaping. owing to the thickness of the woods and the approach of night. The QUEEN'S troops only lost three men killed out right, butseveral were slightly wounded. It was reported t hat REMECHIDO would be tried by a Court-martial and shot. More likely the Government will spare his life, provided he can be brought to give such in'ormation as may lead to the suppression of the Miguelite plots of which he was the prime mover. The new elections of the Cortes were fixed for this day. Very very little doubts were entertained respecting the success of the Ministerial candidates. The men of moderate opinions prepared to abide by the Constitution were all in favour of the policy of the SA DA BANDEIRA Cabinet. The influence of the Carlists was supposed to be rapidly declining, while the Miguelites are quite dis pirited by the capture of REMECHIDO and the dispersion of his band. Should SA DA BANDEIRA prevail, England may confidently anticipate the early adoption of a more liberal commercial policy. A DIVER.—On Monday, between the hours of three and four, Prince's-street and the banks of the river on either side down to Cumberland-basin, Bristol, were crowded with people, who had gathered to witness the " great and wonderful novelty," as the handbills expressed it, of a sub-aquatic excursion by a person of the name of Joseph Orchard, described as " the celebrated diver." The time for commencing the feat was announced to be two o'clock, but from some cause or another it did not begin till one hour and a half after, and then from Cumberland-basin, and not Prince's-street, as in the bills. The man was dressed in a waterproof tight dress and a helmet-shaped cap, to which was attached a pipe; a boat accompanied him, from which he descended by means of a ladder; the boat then rowed on to some dis tance, when, as he phrased it, he'• gratified the public by showing him self," and again descended : this was continued up to Prince's.street Bridge, where he concluded his aquatic trip. It can easily be ima gined, that from the nature of the feat, little could be witnessed by the spectators. Poor Dan O'Connell is sadly treated by his friends and foes at home. Father Gabby O'Malley ridicules him, the Re gister talks of his sophisms, and the Mail accuses him of bad spelling, whilst the Catholic Bishops leave him to Providence. If anything were wanting to prove him an honest man it were this. If he went through thick and thin with his countrymen, he would be their idol, and how few men could renounce this ? The worse they treat him now, the more bitterly will they bewail him when he shall be no more. His great crime is, having changed his mind several times on the subject of Poor Laws. Fools never alter their opinions, and rogues never ac knowledge it if they do, otherwise there would be no dupes among poll. ticianamaSilurian. LEIPZIG AND DRESDEN RAILWAY.—The works on this railway are rapidly approaching towards completion; and every additional step made in opening farther portions of the road to the loco motiVes and trains for passengers and goods, increases the enthusiasm of the population in favour of the railway system. At the Leipzic end, the opening was to be made on August 31, as far as Wuraen, 3% Saxon, or 21 English, miles ; and on July 19, the Dresden end was opened for 2 Saxon, or 12 English miles—leaving about 40 miles yet to open._ Railway Times of Saturday. DISTRESSING SUICIDE.-21 dreadful suicide took place yesterday evening in the Harrow read, Paddington. As Mr. Cooke, a gentleman living on his fortune, was walking in front of his house, he was accosted by William Johnson, a tailor out of work, who resided in the immediate neighbourhood. Johnson stood in conversa tion on general topics with Mr. Cooke, for about a quarter of an hour. He then suddenly exclaimed, " I won't stand it any longer,--I can't, I can't! My family can't starve—they must have bread!" And drawing a large clasp knife from his pocket plunged it into his side, and, before Mr. Cooke recovered sufficiently from his surprise to prevent him, drew it across his throat, cutting it open in a dreadful manner. The unhappy man immediately fell to the ground. Mr. Cooke bound up the wounds as well as he was able, and sent immediately for a surgeon, but before he arrived Johnson was a corpse. The want of work, and the conse. quent distress of his family, is the only reason that can be assigned for this rash act. Johnson was a hardworking sober man, and was much respected by his late employer. He has left a widow and six children to lament the irreparable loss. A WELSH PEDIGREE.--At the late Pembroke shire Assizes, a country girl during her examination as a witness, being asked whether she bore any relationship to one of the parties in the cause, replied, " no, not at least for nine generations."— Cambrian. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY. — The Committee of Investigation into the affairs of the London and Green wich Railway, have now given in their Report, from which it appears that the management of the undertaking has now passed into other hands, from whose business habits, and known independence of charac. ter, the Proprietors have, we think, every reason to anticipate the most favourable results. Nothing but gross mismanagement could have brought that short but important line into the position in which it has of late been place. But of those who are now officially dead it would be useless to speak, the more especially that little can be said to their ad. vantage. Our hopes of future good are strong.—Railway Times of Saturday. DESTRUCTION OF A RHINOCEROS.—Some short time ago intelligence was received on board one of the Company's pilot schooners, cruising off Saugor Island, at the mouth of the river Hoogly, that a rhinoceros has latterly infested the neighbouring villages, and that the animal had destroyed several of the native ryots. A beast of this kind is seldom seen in this quarter, though it is impossible to ascer tain how numercus they may be in the interior of the island, or in the sunderbunds contiguous to it. In consequence of this information, Lieutenant Souter, and a Mr. Lewis, an officer in the pilot service, agreed to put, if possible, a stop to any further mischief there might arise from so tot midable an enemy being suffered to remain at large; and, as they were aware that neither muskets nor rifles would have any imme diate enact on the horny mail of the animal, they provided themselves with two six pounder earronades, which they contrived to convey into an adjacent portion of the jungle, close to a large tank, which the beast was in the habit of nightly frequenting, in order to slake his thirst. There was one track which he favoured, leading down to one of the sides of the tank. Having directed the guns to a par ticular spot in this path, loaded with grape, they, by means of a rope ladder, ascended a soondrec tree, situated on the opposite side, from which position they cculd conve niently command an opportunity of discovering, by the aid of the moon's light, any animal there might pass that way. Having waited patiently for more than two hours, they beheld a huge beast coining down the defile, when Lieutenant Souter de scended by the ladder, and, waiting a favourable opportunity of bringing one of the guns to bear upon the beast, applied the fuse to it, and discharged the contents in a volley at the object. After some minutes they cautiously reconnoitered the spot, but could discover no signs of their has ing done execution, and consequently returned that night to the vessel. In the morning, how ever, attended by a company of Lascars, and some natives of the neigh bourhood, they repaired to the scene of the last night's excursion, and on adv. - dicing some little way into the jingle they detected the beast appa rently reclining at the base of a soondree tree. Not quite satisfied that he was dead, they ascended an adjacent tree, and discharged their rifles at him, bat finding that he remained moti o nle s s th e L ascars ventured to approach nearer to him, when they pronounced hi m lif eless. On exa mination it was found that three of the shot had pen etrated deeply into his body. Being too cumbrous to remove, they cut a few s t r i ps o r thongs from the hide, which they brought away, and took to Calcutta as trophies of their success in ridding the villages ofso formidable an enemy. STEALING A CAT.—Monday John Pritchard was charged with stealing a cat, the property of Mr. Jones. Legal gentlemen were employed by the parties, and the charge occupied the magistrates a considerable time. The complaint was grounded upon the 7th and Sih Geo. IV., c. 29, sec. 31, which enacts, that if any person shall steal a ( lag, beast, or bird, ordinarily kept in a state of confinement, such offender shall pay over and above the value of the animal stolen, any sum not exceeding 201. ; for a second offence the thief may be impri soned for twelve months, and publicly or pi irately whipped, In this case theme was some discussion as to whether a cat came under the term "best," which point was decided by a reference to the dictionaries of Johnsen and %Valker, both of whom deine a beast to be " an animal Ais'inguithed from birds, insects, fishes, and men." It appeared that almost evary cat in the neighbourhood had been stolen, and the remains of the ono in question were found in a cub of several ferrets k ept by the accused. Whether the animal wee killed before being g i ven to these fierce little creatures, did not appear. Pritchard Wag fined la 3, 6d.. _ Hereford Journal.

" His Majesty the King having considered that in consequence of the produce of sulphur having increased in his Royal dominions beyond the Faro, by about 300,000 centars beyond the quantity usually required to supply the foreign markets, the price of the article is so low that some proprietors of sulphur mines find it better to allow them to remain idle, while others fear the imminent destruction of their fortunes; with a view to apply a prompt remedy to so serious a misfortune, and desiring, at the same time, to expend a great part of the profit which may be derived from a well regulated trade in sulphur; has been pleased to approve of a contract which has been made with the company of Tai x, A y rani , and Co."

A considerable business is still doing in yarns for export, which has at length produced some little effect upon prices, and created a more extensive inquiry amongst our own manufacturers for this article. — Preston Observer. THE BEER SHOPS.—If the beer-sellers, who have established themselves in a trade, under the idea that they were sanc tioned and protected by the Legislature, are to be thus harshly treated, and their little all sacrificed, where is the person who will hereafter place any reliance upon the solemn act of a supposed deliberate assembly, If the Beer Act is to be instantaneously repealed, then are the beer re tailers more justly entitled to compensation than the blood-stained slaveholders. It is said beer-houses are the seats of depravity and vice; ergo' gin -shops are patterns of virtue and morality. This must be the inference intended, else why do proprietors of gin-shops sign petitions against beer-houses. I maintain, and am prepared to prove, that beer houses are not the infamous receptacles they are represented, and the Legislature ought to receive with caution the exaggerated statements of interested parties.—Correspondent of the Hampshire Independent. MAILS ON RAlLWAYS.—Yesterday morning, at seven o'clock, the Emerald Bath and Bristol stage-coach was removed from the tine of turnpike road to Maidenhead from London, and con veyed from Paddington, filled with passengers and luggage, along the Great Western Railway to Maidenhead. In another fortnight two of the Bath and Bristol stages will be conveyed to Maidenhead by the same conveyance. . THE CURSE OF PHARAOH.— I have omitted to mention that the curse provoked by Pharaoh still rests upon the land of Egypt, and that rats, fleas, and all those detestable animals into which Aaron converted the sands, are still the portion of the traveller and sojourner in Egypt. I had suffered considerably during the last four days, but not willing to loose a favourable wind, had pat off, resorting to the usual means of relief To-night, however, there was no enduring it any longer; the rats ran, shrieked, and shouted, as if celebrating a jubilee on account of some great mortality among the cats, and the lesser animals came upon me as if the rod of Aaron had been lifted for my special affliction.—Stephens's Incidents of Travel in the Holy Land, Egypt, Edonz, 4.e. ORANGEISM AT DBOMORE.—The Orangemen of Dromore held a meeting on Thursday week, to denounce the Go vernment for sending troops to that place, on the 12th July. The Rev. It E B. Maclellan had the manliness to meet the faction in their den, and in despite of their vociferous opposition, succeeded in demon strafing that the Government were entitled to the greatest praise for the salutary precautions which they had adopted on the late Orange an niversary, by which the peace of the district, and the lives of the well.disposed inhabitants were preserved. John Magill, Esq. of !sten derry, also opposed the factious objects of the meeting. As soon as this gentleman had concluded, the clamour was renewed and became so lengthened and violent that the Harrison, the Churchwarden, handed to Mr. Brush his resolutions, and said, I dissolve (or adjourn) the meet. t o g On this, the friends of the Government, and many others, left the Market-house. We understand that, afterwards, some resolutions we re passed, with the purport of which we are unacquainted.—Dublin Evening Post. MOCK SUNS.—A person named Green has ad dressed the following letter to the Editor of the Suffidle Chronicle : On Monday morning, July 30, just after six, as I was going to my work at the Sudbury Union How, my attention was suddenly attracted by a n unusual appearance of light on the ground, proceeding, as I thought, from something in the atmosphere. I looked up to ascertain the cause, when to my astonishment, there appeared three distinct suns; one, the real sun, in the centre ; the two mocks suns were north and south of the real one, equidistant and on a parallel line; the light admitted from each of the mock suns did not appear so brilliant as from the real one, yet the rays proceeding from each of them as seen between the light clouds were brilliant, apparently like the tail of the comet of 1811 ; a rainbow -like circle enclosed the three; the centre of the circle was the real sun ; the colours the same as a rainbow ; the higher part of the circle t h e most brilliant ; the lower part, below the stuns, faint in colours, and at places scarcely visible ; above this circle, and just touching the upper edge , was a segment of a circle, the reverse of the usual appearance of a rainbow, tit , feet appearing upwards—this was very bright in colours, corresponding in colours and brilliancy to the brightest rainbow. Above th i s, was a faint appearance of part of another bow, similar to the moon at three or four days old. There was at the time neither rain nor fog, but white thin clouds, and very little wind; hew long it had been v i s ible before I observed it I am not aware, but it continued in its beauty until more than half.?ast six ; after that time, the colours began to fade, and about seven the whole disappeared. As the cows, accompanied by a bull, belonging to Mr. S. Sau ndere, of H y don.va w r, Montgomeryshire, were bringing up f or milking on Monday week, a man empl o y e d as a inaltster by Mr. nigh, of Hydan (c, ell known to the bull previously), met the animal on this day with a large stake, and dared him with it. In art instant the infuriated beast dashed at the unfortunate assailant, struck his horn and made a frightful gash in the lower part of his belly, and tossed the poor fellow a considerable height in the air. The bull attacked him again on the ground, and would have completed his work of death, had not a dog, assisted by two men, rescued the sufferer, who now lies dan gerously ill.—Shrewsbury Chronicle. WA NT OF EDUCATION. —There were eleven pri soners for trial at the Nottingham Assizes, ten of whom were unable either to read or write. HOUSE O 1 LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

COLONIAL MARKETS, These great departments of business continue quiet, bordering on dullness, and all the business transacted is done at public sale. B. P. Sugar goes off rather slowly at about the rates of last week. In refined goods there is nothing fresh. To-day we had a small public sale of 1,709 bags Mauritius Sugar, and 327 bags of Bengal, which sold at their former value. Coffee, 108 Casks B. B. and 310 bags Ceylon, yielded previous quotations at public sale. Rice, 800 bags East India, fetched its former advanced rates. Some small parcels of Ginger, Mace, and Nutmegs, sold at their former worth, but the sales were without spirit. 800 baskets Saltpetre sold briskly at previous market prices. For to-morrow we have public sales of 66 tierces and barrels Jamaica Coffee; 50 bags Pimento; 66 casks Jamaica Ginger, and 338 bags Spanish Wool. The imports to. day, up to the time we went t to press, were light. The Colonial Markets aro now in about as quiet and uniform a state as ever we knew them. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. AVG. 13 Our Cotton Market of this day passed over languidly, the demand being very small. The entire transactions barely amount to 2,500 bags , and a decline of 'Ad. per lb. on last Wednesday's rates must be reported. A DEPUTATlON.—Deputations are now all the go everywhere. Nothing can be done without a deputation, and luckily deputies are plenty as blackberries. Our cetera. of the Nero York Herald has been visited by "a deputation, from Poughkeepsie," which he thus describes:—" A gentleman from Poughkeepsie called upon LIS yesterday. He entered our private office. I must do my duty, said he. ' Certainly,' said I. lam deputed by a number of ladies of Poughkeepsie to inquire whether you are a single or a married man ?' Single,' replied I, 'by all means—twenty-five, or thereabouts.' I thank you,' said he,' I shall report accordingly,' and out he walked as cool as a cucumber."—New York paper. An elderly lady, named Marriat, residing at No. 20, Charlotte-street, Mat kfriars-road, retired to her bed-room, about ten o'clock on Sunday night, leaving the rest of the family up. About twelve o'clock the same night, the other memLers of the family having retired, were disturbed by hearing some noise in the back yard,and upon their going to ascertain the cause, they found the old lady lying stretched along the ground, having fallen from the back window on the second_ fluor. She was still living; but appeared to be dreadfuhy injured. The Messrs. Bradys, the surgeons, on being sent for, hastenet without delay to the scene of distress, and rendered every assistance in their power. On examination, they found that the unfortunate lady had received a compound fracture of the right leg below the knee, the right arm and shoulder were completely shattered, and the scalp divided from the fore_ head to the back part of the head. She ling, red in this state for a few hours, when death in tst happily relieved her from her earthly suffer ings. Since the catastiophe it is strongly believed that Mrs. Marriott, who enjoyed excellent health, and was in good spirits on retiring to rest, had, during her sleep, got imp and precipitated herself from the window, as she was in her night-clothes when found in the situation above described. Saturday an inquest was held on the body of a male child found concealed between a bed and mattress, on which Harriet Gilbert, a servant at the Bricklayers' Arms, in Bermondsey, sl e pt. The above.named woman has been since taken into custody, charged on suspicion with destroying her child. From the evidence it appeared that Harriet Gilbert complained of indisposition on Thursday, and soon afterwards went to bed in her master's house. Her illness increased, and upon a female attendant entering the roo:n, she saw the patient in such a condition that it was strongly believed she had given birth to a child. Gilbert, however, denied that such was the fact ; but, upon a minute examination, a full-grown male child was discovered between the bed and mattress, quite dead. A surgeon was examined, who pronounced it as his opinion that the child was born alive; and, after a lengthened inquiry, the Jury brought in a verdict against Gilbert of "Concealment of birth," and she is at present in custody at the work. house, until sufficiently recovered to be taken before a magistrate. An inquest was held on the buds, of I'. 1). Bla quiere. Esq., nephew 61 Lord de Blaquiera, a prisoner in the Marshalsea, Midlinear, who dropped dead suddenly. The deceased h.,d been con. fined a year for 2001.; and not having the means to discharge his debts, lie sank into lowness of spirits, which ended in apoplexy. Mr. Blaquiere retired from the .16th Regiment some time - ago.—Dublen paper. On Wednesday se'nnight, as a fishing boat, named the Friends of Arran, from Loch Ransa, in Arran, was proceeding on its way for the fishing ground, when about four miles from Mauchray flay, it was suddenly struck by a whale, and a large aperture formed in the right side of the boat. Fortunately the planks driven in were on the upper part, so that by stuffing the :r jackets and so:ne sails into the opening, and shifting the hal!ast to one side, the party managed to make some way, the wind being luckily favourable for them. The boat, how ever, was no sooner within the bay, and the incn attained the shore, than she sank. The men (whose names arc Donald M`Millan, and Archibald M`Nichol) describe the stroke made by the tail of the whale as resembling loud thunder, and by its motion causing the sea around to boil like a caldron. Part of the skin of this monster of the deep was found attached to the boat —Kilmarnock Journal. , PLENTY OF LAWYERS.-A provincial paper states that eighty-one Barristers dined together at the York Tavern last week. There arc rbout one hundred and forty barristers on the Northern Circuit. THE << SOUL/ AND WELLINGTON A few weeks ago we had occasion to notice the sPir i " r 4 exertions of Mr. Young, proprietor of The Sun pal who presented to the public a beautifully executed illeua lion likedes3 of the Queen, accompanied with The printed in gold.

In his preface to this volume, which is the hot' Southey replies to some arguments which wer e urged 405- the hexameter measure adopted by him in th e well knns(P„s Vision of Judgment," at the time that eccentric Poe was published. We cannot compliment the L au reate 0° the success which has attended his reasonings. Write wh ° he will on the subject , he will never m ake the he ho popular in our literatue , for it is a metre which, wever ;- well it becomes the " Iliad" or the "lEneid,' (or, still mores the " hymns of Callimachus,') is wholly o pp osed to the genius of the English language. if any p oet could WI rendered it acceptable to our ears, M r.

We consider the " Vision of Judgment° sit by far the weakest of its author's poems, and next to the' his " Pilgrimage to Waterloo," and the laureate _Ja ws 111ich oar he threw out with such exceeding Anti-Galliv an fery r towards the close of the late war. He has written, hoWece; G e tb one magnificent poem, " Roderick, the Last of the a 55 which is by far the most spirited, the most hie s•tioed' best-sustained of all his flights. " Thalaba" nas here there more splendid passages, and the " Cur se of on imp touches of purer pathos and more striking descriptioa ; they do not, like " Roderick," interest the read er as 3 Wird The plots are involved, the incidents frequently leg most dreary manner ; and the mythological feticies,:s• which they are founded, are frequently of a repalefe of ratter, and where not so, specially absurd. The dar ace mythology, whether Grecian or Oriental, are for eve r P be and gone. Some few of our modern poets—c hieflY dea smaller tribe—have within the last twenty sea rs t ie' voured to revive them ; but the effort was wholly 05- a t° cessful—as much so indeed, as if they had atteraPte naturalize sylphs and fairies and water-kelpies in th e t it gent's-park, or the Hampstead ponds.
